Reader says , “The current building was put into law by the Three Amigos”

3 amigos in action Ridgewood NJ

“Damn it . The current council cannot stop the building. The current building was put into law by the Three Amigos. And it is a damn rotten lie to say the current council is negotiating for more building. They stopped the Kensignton Assisted Living Center from being built on Chestnut street. YOU YOU should go over and kiss their feet for stopping that. The Kensington corporate execs. tried very aggressively to build in Ridgewood. They tried a couple years ago; they came to a council meeting; and then a few months ago they tried again; they came to a council meeting with a big speech about how their business, assisted living center, would benefit Ridgewood businesses and give a lot of tax dollars to the Village of Ridgewood. But ya know what, Deputy Mayor Susan Knudsen stood strong and said NO NO NO. It would be too crowded for our Village. Deputy Mayor Knudsen and Sedon voted against the multi family housing a fewyears ago, but the Three Amigos outvoted them.”

U.S. District Judge throws out lawsuit over the SALT Tax-Cap Challenge filed by New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maryland

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Wyckoff NJ, After a federal ruling yesterday dismissed cases to rescind the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions, Assemblyman Christopher DePhillips said that if Governor Murphy and Democrats were sincere about eliminating the cap on state and local taxes, then they should do it in New Jersey.

“Republicans tried to eliminate New Jersey’s cap on property tax deduction multiple times, and the Democrat majority voted to maintain higher taxes in each instance for no other reason than it was proposed by Republicans and it would keep up the fight against Trump,” said DePhillips (R-Bergen). “They obviously must not disagree on the substance of the policy if they are criticizing the federal law, which was based on New Jersey’s cap. It is completely hypocritical. If they don’t want a cap, then eliminate the one at home.”

Reader says,” Forget your village, this is a town transitioning into a small city. Think Hackensack, Montclair etc…”

Ridgewood 3 amigos

” Those who still do not understand what is happening to RW are too naive or to put it in better terms idiots. Open your eyes and see what monsters are being built right in CBD. This is just the beginning. More will spread out all over town. Have you noticed how much of RW tree inventory has been depleted the past year? Have you noticed the monstrosity going on on the other side of RT 17? I really hate how this VC is treating us on this. What vision feedback are they asking for from residents? Their plans are being implemented already. Why do they insult us this way? They don’t care about our opinion, they just see us as cash cows for town’s coffers. We have no say in anything. And if some of us can’t take this and decide to leave RW, so what? Some other NY transplants will replace us and the tax $$$ will continue pouring in. Forget your village, this is a town transitioning into a small city. Think Hackensack, Montclair etc. And for all the bullshit about plastic bags, plastic straws and other feel good campaigns , the fact that trees are being cut in volumes just goes to show the hypocrisy. It is all about business and political power. “
